Liz Mooney earns draw at Armory

Farragon dominated the first three rounds against Proctor, who was also in his third professional bout. Proctor came back with a strong fourth round, but it was too late to sway the judges' decisions.

"I thought he fought great," said Andy Farragon, Mike's trainer and father. "He came out with a lot of energy, and I was worried he had too much energy. I told him to save something for the later rounds, (but) he didn't have a lot of energy left at the end."

Saratoga Springs heavyweight Gary Wilcox made his first appearance in a boxing ring in three years a memorable one as he defeated John Rainwater by technical knockout. Wilcox dominated the first four rounds of the six-round bout before the referee stopped the fight in the fifth round.

"I felt better than I did in a long time," said Wilcox, who last fought in 2005. "My legs felt great."
